A List of Pensioners of the War of 1812 Commodore Macdonough Painted by Gilbert Stuart. Reproduced by permission of Messrs. Rodney and Augustus R. Macdonough. A List of Pensioners of the War of 1812 Edited by BYRON N. CLARK Librarian, Vermont Antiquarian Society. H With an Appendix containing names of Volunteers for the defence of Plattsburgh from Vermont towns, a description of the battle from con- temporaneous sources, the official statement of losses, and names of United States officers and soldiers at Burlington, Vermont, as shown on army pay and muster rolls recently brought to light. RESEARCH PUBLICATION COMPANy, Burlington and Boston, 1904, THE SHELDON PRESS, PRINTERS BURLINGTON, VT, • • » / pr PREFACE /6S HE Vermont Antiquarian Society has cour- teously permitted the publication of the inter- esting record kept by William G. Shaw of Burlington, Vt., during his activity as a pen- sion agent, so far as the notes relate to soldiers in the War of 1812. This record has particular value as it includes abstracts of the evidence presented by the claimant. There was no Ver- mont law requiring vital records to be kept by town clerks prior to 1840, hence attempts to learn the families of Vermont soldiers in either the Revolution or the War of 1812 frequently are futile. All who have had occasion to seek genealogical details in Vermont will realize the importance of this pension evidence. The Volunteers whose names are printed are from the towns of Burlington, Colchester, Huntington, Milton, Under- bill, Shelburne, Jericho, and Hinesburgh, and in all, number 189. The contemporaneous accounts of the battle were copied from the newspaper files in the Fletcher Free Library at Bur- lington. By the kindness of Mr. Henry L. Sheldon, we are enabled to add to the appendix, the payrolls of many companies from United States regiments, stationed at Burlington, Vt., during the War of 181 2. The acknowledgements of the editor are due to Messrs. Rodney and Augustus R. Macdonough for the reproduction of the picture of Commodore Macdonough. This is from the portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart, now in the Century Club, New York. The picture of the battle of Plattsburgh is from an old print and is used by permission of Col. C. S. Forbes.

  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

These sites will require varying degrees of evaluation based upon the scope of the overall heritage tourism plan for the greater Plattsburgh area. The MRI’s role in this collaboration is to conduct a document review for each of the six historic sites as well as an archaeological assessment for Fort Brown and Valcour Island. The archaeological assessments will utilize KOCOA analysis outlined in the Battlefield Survey Manual of the American Battlefield Protection Program provided by the National Park Service.

  • The Battle of Plattsburg Flag 1814
    The Battle of Plattsburg Flag 1814 Veteran Exempts Flag The Veteran Exempts, commanded by a Captain Melvin L. Woolsey, was a local New York militia company, formed in July of 1812, which was made up of veterans of the American Revolution who were otherwise exempt from military service because of their age. Many of the settlers in upstate New York (and Ohio) were veterans of the Revolutionary War and had been paid by grants of lands on the frontiers. By forming militia units they enabled the younger militia men to go off to war while they stayed to protect the local settlements. Like the Home Guard in Britain during the Second World War, they did provide a valuable reserve in a time of crisis. This Veteran Exempts flag may have been used at the Battle of Plattsburgh in upper New York. The Battle, also known as the Battle of Lake Champlain, ended the final British invasion attempt of the northern United States during the War of 1812. Fought shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the American victory denied the British leverage to demand exclusive control over the Great Lakes and any territorial gains against the New England states. Little other information is available on the activities of the Veterans Exempts during the War of 1812. The Veterans Exempt flag was described in the Plattsburgh Republican, July 31, 1812, as having "...a black ground with 13 stars for the Union of White, wrought in silver. That in the centre of the Flag there he a Death's Head, with cross bones under, intimating what must soon, according to the course of nature, be their promiscuous fate, and the immediate one of any enemy who shall venture to contend with them.

Abel From 2011 to 2013, archaeologists, students and volunteers conducted survey and excavation of the Zagreb site, near Plattsburgh, NY, in an effort to associate it with the enigmatic Cantonment Saranac— Col. Zebulon Pike’s winter cantonment of 1812–1813. Missing for over a century, local historians had tried unsuccessfully to establish its location based on archival descriptions. Until 2011, archaeological evidence from the site was entirely lacking. Using metal detection, the current project has successfully linked the historical to the actual, providing a unique glimpse into events of the early War of 1812 period in the Champlain Valley.

With extreme diffidence the compiler sends forth this genealogical work, is thoroughly aware of its imperfections and incompleteness, and claims for it nothing more than a conscientious, laborious effort to collect and preserve the family historj'-, as much of it as could be ascertained by extensive correspondence, searching old papers, town rec- ords, etc. Some years since Mr. Asahel Newell died, leaving papers that the compiler had gradually expanded until quite a mass of material had col- lected, much too valuable to be lost. He had de- sired that all the historical matter collected should be published ; other friends also desired it. The work would gladly have been committed to other and more competent hands, had there been any such ready and willing to undertake it. Only those who have been engaged in gen- ealogical studies can justly estimate the mea- sure of labor, research, correspondence and pa- tience required in a task of this kind.
